About this event

Join us in San Francisco on Tuesday, October 20 at 6:30 PM PST for an evening of networking with Big Data professionals and an engaging presentation about Uses Cases for AI.

In his presentation, The Outlook for AI, Mr. Nicholson will discuss how deep learning is rapidly changing the AI landscape. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook are in fierce competition for teams that can build deep-learning applications. Because of deep learning's general usefulness in pattern recognition, those applications are surprisingly diverse, ranging from image recognition to machine translation. This talk will explore deep learning use cases for the major data types -- image, sound, text and time series -- as they're emerging in the private sector.

Chris Nicholson co-founded Skymind and Deeplearning4j with Adam Gibson, serving as CEO since 2014. He previously led communications and recruiting for the Sequoia-backed Ycombinator startup FutureAdvisor, which was acquired by BlackRock for $200 million. Chris spent a decade reporting on tech and finance for The New York Times, Businessweek and Bloomberg News, among others. He attended Deep Springs College and holds a degree in economics.
